White-Crowned Sparrow 1 of 2 (Zonotrichia leucophrys)

What was the whitish bird I was seeing in the spruce tree this morning? A White-Crowned Sparrow! Back from Northern Canada to spend the winter. Last time I saw one was during May. Used a fill flash, so the eye looks blue (but I think it becomes him, lol).
